[386] WAW+P Radio #3: BFF-FM With Philippa Rice

My second episode - the third overall - of We Are Words + Pictures Radio is now up for your listening pleasure. This week, I'm thrilled to have Philippa Rice as the show's guest/co-host. Her comic My Cardboard Life is lovely, and I'm starting feel that the show is taking shape.

I'd like to have the recommendations as a recurring segment, with a little back-and-forth with the guest about them. This episode, we recommend Joe List's Freak Leap, and we pick apart the new issue of the anthology Whores of Mensa.

Also, Philippa provided over half the playlist, which turned out to be both a bit varied and a little idiosyncratic. If you want to check the tracks out, I've created a Spotify playlist here.

I discuss this in the show, but I still haven't settled on an alternative title for the series. Maybe it's best not to, and to give each episode a unique subtitle, corresponding to the special guest. Therefore, as Philippa was a most ardent supporter of the 'BFF-FM' moniker, I thought it best that her episode bear that name. (The above cap is from Oxford Dictionaries.)

As always, comments and feedback of either positive or negative variety would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to Philippa for appearing on the show, and thanks to super-producer Sarah Bates for making us sound good.
